U.S. Antidumping & Countervailing Duties on Fine Denier Polyester Staple Fiber from China (A-570-060, C-570-061)

This is an educational summary — NOT a scope determination or filing advice. It does not decide whether your specific goods are covered. Always verify against the latest U.S. Commerce and CBP instructions.

Fine denier polyester staple fiber from China may be subject to both a U.S. antidumping order (A-570-060) and a countervailing duty order (C-570-061).

Effective/entry-specific deposit and liquidation treatment depends on Commerce and CBP instructions, not only the publication date.

Fine denier polyester staple fiber (PSF) from China may be covered by two U.S. Department of Commerce orders: an antidumping order under case A-570-060 and a countervailing duty order under case C-570-061. Both an AD cash deposit and a CVD cash deposit may apply to entries that fall within scope, so importers should verify carefully before filing.

Scope — simplified screening examples, not full legal scope

The official written scope controls. The examples below are screening references only.

Products that may be covered (examples)

•May include synthetic staple fibers made wholly or in part of polyester in the fine denier range (typically below a defined denier threshold set by Commerce's written scope)
•May include fine denier PSF regardless of cross-sectional shape (round, hollow, trilobal, etc.)
•May include fine denier PSF whether crimped or uncrimped
•May include fine denier PSF whether or not colored, dyed, or treated with finishes
•May include virgin and, where specified, recycled-content fine denier PSF within the described denier range
•May include fine denier PSF used as a raw material for spinning, nonwovens, or fill applications

Products that may require separate review or may fall outside this order

?Coarse or high-denier polyester staple fiber above the scope's denier range may be outside coverage
?Continuous polyester filament yarn (not staple fiber) may be outside coverage
?Finished textile products such as fabrics, apparel, or made-up goods may be outside coverage
?Nonwoven rolls or finished nonwoven articles may be outside coverage
?Fibers made of materials other than polyester may be outside coverage
?Certain specialty fibers specifically carved out in the written scope may be excluded

Scope control: HTS codes are screening references only; Commerce's written scope language controls whether a product is covered, and parts, blends, or further-processed items may still fall within scope depending on that language.

Who it affects

This typically matters for importers of polyester staple fiber and raw fiber inputs from China used in spinning, nonwovens, fiberfill, insulation, and similar applications, as well as buyers sourcing fine denier PSF who need to confirm origin and scope.

What the duty means

If merchandise falls within scope, CBP collects estimated AD and/or CVD cash deposits at entry. Rates vary by exporter/producer combination and by administrative review and can be substantial; because both an AD and a CVD order exist, deposits under both may apply. A 0% cash-deposit rate is NOT an exemption — the order still applies and entries must be declared as subject merchandise.

Importer checklist — how to assess your risk

☐Gather the commercial invoice product description and match it against Commerce's written scope language
☐Collect product photos, spec sheets, and denier/cross-section data to assess whether the fiber falls in the fine denier range
☐Confirm the material composition (polyester content, virgin vs. recycled) for scope screening
☐Document the intended use and physical form (staple fiber vs. filament vs. finished goods)
☐Obtain country-of-origin support tracing manufacturing, not just shipment point
☐Identify the manufacturer and exporter names and the specific producer/exporter combination
☐Determine the tentative HTS classification for screening purposes only
☐Consult a licensed customs broker or trade counsel to confirm scope — do not rely only on supplier statements
☐Verify the current cash-deposit rate against the latest Commerce administrative review results and CBP AD/CVD messages before filing

Risks to watch

⚠Circumvention or transshipment findings if goods are routed through third countries to disguise Chinese origin
⚠Scope inquiries that may pull in products the importer assumed were outside coverage
⚠Using the wrong exporter/producer combination and applying an incorrect (often lower) deposit rate
⚠Misdeclaration or failure to declare subject merchandise, which can trigger penalties and retroactive duty liability

The same product is also subject to separate U.S. proceedings involving India, South Korea, and Taiwan, so each origin should be reviewed on its own rather than assumed equivalent — and switching origin to evade duties can itself trigger enforcement.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on fine denier PSF from China?

There is an antidumping order under case A-570-060 and a countervailing duty order under case C-570-061 covering fine denier polyester staple fiber from China. Whether a specific shipment is subject depends on Commerce's written scope, so importers should verify before entry.

Does a 0% deposit rate mean no duty?

No. A 0% cash-deposit rate is not an exemption. The order still applies, the merchandise must be declared as subject, and rates can change through administrative reviews; final liability is determined later by Commerce and CBP.

Are parts or unassembled fine denier PSF covered?

Fiber inputs, blended, or further-processed forms may still be covered depending on Commerce's written scope language. Importers should verify with a licensed broker rather than assume exclusion.

Possible risk

Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are fine denier polyester staple fiber of Chinese origin; a separate review is needed for blends, recycled-content variants, higher-denier fiber, filament yarn, finished goods, and any third-country processing.

Bottom line: Fine denier polyester staple fiber from China may be covered by A-570-060 (AD) and C-570-061 (CVD); confirm scope, origin, exporter/producer identity, and current deposit rates before entry.

Not a scope determination or filing advice — confirm coverage and current deposit rates with a licensed customs broker and the latest Commerce/CBP instructions before entry.
